On the Master Plan

Studies on the Process of Planning in Tsukuba New Town, Part. 2

Abstract

Four master plans made by the Japan Housing Corporation are much changed. Some of major factors which made them changed were actual conditions of the site; the boundary of developing area, the attainment of land acquisition and the method of development. In Tsukuba, 80% of 1800ha, of the land acquired was used for the research and educational institutions, the land acquisition was so important that the boundary and the method were arranged for the purpose of its attainment. Master plan must be transformed according to these evolving factors, but act on them guiding to log-ranged goal of the development.
